Thanks Phil. I have the 1961 supplement but not the 1960 manual.. after looking through your link i think i may have a 261 in my bus chassis..it has the full flow oil filter that hangs off the manifold. I will have to look closer at it and see.

This is awesome..i wish i could shake this guys hand for the write up. Its 12 volts but does what we need. For the cost involved its worth adding a circuit to run it. http://devestechnet.com/Home/HEIgnition
